For anyone interested in this family’s story cast your eye over the alleged experiences of this family from Derry in 2002, its remarkable in the similarities of both incidents and the republican movement’s alleged response to it. In this context, its astonishing how far Sinn Fein et al have been forced to move publicly by the love of a family for their dead husband/son /brother. (Albeit bouyed by a media free for all with a clear anti-republican bias) http://lark.phoblacht.net/mccloskey.html

Tomas, I remember that case well. If I have it right, Joseph McCloskey picketed 10 Downing Street while Gerry Adams was due to arrive there for urgent discussions with the PM on some aspect of the political process which had recently failed. McCloskey had been appealing to SF for months but had been ignored. Suddenly after this event the IRA’s expulsion was dropped. And they try to say SF has nothing to do with the IRA.
